Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is receiving both praise and criticism for comments he made earlier this week.
Speaking at a town hall event hosted by News Nation, the controversial politician shared his feelings regarding Trump supporters.
And while Republicans have applauded his comments, many of Fetterman’s own supporters wish he sounded a bit more like a member of the opposition party.
Fetterman criticizes fellow Dems for comparing MAGA movement to Nazi party
Asked about rhetoric used to describe the far right amid ICE raids and National Guard deployments in US cities, Fetterman argued that it’s the critics of those developments who are guilty of going to extremes.
“I’m the only Democrat in my family. I grew up in a conservative part of Pennsylvania,” Fetterman told the crowd, clad in his signature hoodie.
“I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler, and those things,” he continued, adding:
“I know and I love people who voted for President Trump. They are not fascists, they’re not Nazis, they’re not trying to destroy the Constitution.”
“I refuse to call people Nazis or fascists. I would never compare anybody — anybody to Hitler.”
Fetterman says Charlie Kirk criticism went too far
From there, Fetterman lashed out at public figures and social media users who criticized Charlie Kirk’s views in the wake of his assassination.
“Like Charlie Kirk, all I could say is let people grieve — give people the space. I’m not going to use that terrible thing and that assassination to make my argument and try to put out my views,” Fetterman said.
“It’s like, my God, he’s a father that had his neck blown out by a bullet. And now people have forgotten: President Trump was in my state — was shot in the head,” he continued.
“Could you imagine where our nation would be if he were hit in the same way as Kirk? We really got to turn the temperature down.”
Other Democrats who implored Americans to turn the temperature down amid the current wave of political violence were subsequently criticized by prominent Republicans for their alleged hypocrisy.
But Fetterman’s appeal to the GOP seems to be earning him support from the Right — even as it raises doubts on the Left.
“If there is a worse Democrat than Fetterman I’d like to know who it is,” wrote one X user.
“Fetterman is more focused on helping Trump than helping his constituents,” another added.
Fetterman has yet to respond to the criticism against him, which is not terribly surprising. After all, he doesn’t seem very concerned about the opinions of the Democrats who voted for him these days.

A third season of the Bravo series McBee Dynasty: Real American Cowboys is set to begin filming this week — but family patriarch Steve McBee will not be roaming the ranch with his sons.
McBee was sentenced to 24 months in prison today after pleading guilty to crop insurance fraud in November of 2024.
He will also be forced to pay more than $4 million in restitution.
According to a Justice Department press release published by People magazine, McBee and his business partners confessed to defrauding an insurance company called Rain and Hail, which is reinsured by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
McBee allegedly sent “fraudulent documents to Rain and Hail that underreported his total 2018 corn crop by approximately 674,812 bushels and underreported his total 2018 soybean crop by approximately 155,833 bushels.”
The falsified documents reportedly enabled McBee to receive $2,605,943 in federal crop insurance benefits.
He also received $552,980 in federal crop insurance premium subsidies, making a total of $3,158,923 in unauthorized benefits.
Lawyers for the reality star requested that he be let off with supervised release — but given the size of his theft, McBee is lucky that he only received two years.
McBee was the central focus of the first season of McBee Dynasty.
But he appeared only twice in the second season, as the patriarch’s mounting legal woes forced producers to shift their focus to his sons.
“On the heels of a wedding and the arrival of two new babies, the McBee clan is growing — and so are the challenges of balancing love, legacy, and life on the ranch,” reads the show’s official logline.
Earlier this week, Steve’s son Steve Jr. admitted to feeling “scared, nervous, anything, and everything” ahead of today’s hearing.
“We love him so much, and love our family unit,” Steven Jr. continued, according to Bravo. “So, to picture him not being here with us for any amount of time, it’s scary.”
The McBees have not yet spoken publicly about today’s sentencing news.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Gia Giudice is straight up not having a good time.
In a Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test clip, she’s on the verge of a panic attack at a daunting new challenge.
The show’s tasks are designed to break people down. And it’s clearly working.
Is this the end of Gia on Special Forces?
Poor Gia Giudice is buckling under pressure
Page Six‘s “Virtual Reali-Tea” got a sneak peek look at Gia Giudice on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
In the clip, the young Bravolebrity is, to put it mildly, going through it.
She is crawling through a narrow tunnel that is way out in the Moroccan desert.
“I’m gonna have a panic attack,” Gia warns aloud.
She tries to manage her breathing before worming through the terrifying tunnel, but the calming technique cannot change the reality of the challenge.
#specialforcesfox #RHONJ Gia Giudice suffers panic attack during tense ‘Special Forces’ challenge: ‘I can’t breathe’https://t.co/Bv7WPrbUT9 pic.twitter.com/EZB3lptw15
— Brightly (@BrightlyAgain) October 16, 2025
“Can I take off this helmet?” the panicking Gia asks.
Frantically, she explains: “Like, I can’t breathe.”
At this point, Gia received some help from DS Foxy (Sergeant Jason Fox), but not perhaps in the form that she had hoped.
“You can breathe,” he assures her. “You’re breathing now. You’re talking to me.”
He then doubles down: “Go on and get through there. Let’s go! No more excuses, let’s get in there!”
The sneak peek does not show us the outcome
Obviously, that is only a sneak peek clip of Gia Giudice tackling a terrifying Special Forces challenge.
Viewers will have to watch the entire episode to know the outcome.
Gia is not only famous for appearing on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but also for Next Gen NYC.
However, she and RHONJ OG Teresa Giudice entered the absurd Fox competition series as daughter and mother.
Teresa left the show early. Which, honestly, seems pretty wise, no matter the excuse. Look at what Gia’s going through. No thanks.
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is currently airing its fourth season.
The premise of the show is that a select group of “celebrities” (that is, public figures of varying levels of fame and notoriety) must endure vaguely militaristic challenges — of their minds and bodies.
It is a miserable experience for many contestants. This is by design.
For some, it is also a miserable experience for viewers. Critics argue that the series is an indictment of our culture, indicating backsliding by decades.
But hey, look at it this way: it’s not as bad as The Masked Singer. Let that be a comfort to us all.
Is this the end of Gia on ‘Special Forces’ Season 4?
Teasers are often deeply misleading. This applies to real television and to reality shows in equal measure.
A promo or a sneak peek might show one person on the edge of a breakdown, only for them to pull through shortly after the end of the clip.
Or this could be heralding the beginning of the end for Gia Giudice’s time on the show.
Truth be told, getting to leave this abject misery sounds optimal.
But perhaps we’ll see Gia overcome her very reasonable and understandable anxieties and pull through. If that’s really what she wants to do, well, more power to her.

Britney Spears has issued a heartfelt statement in response to the MANY damning accusations that have been hurled her way by ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Indeed, the D-Lister is making the media rounds this week in order to promote his new memoir.
In the book, which comes out on October 21, Federline says a number of damaging things about Spears — alleging, for example, that she took cocaine while breastfeeding the former couple’s sons.
Really scary stuff if true.
Previously, a spokesperson for Spears fired back at Federline on behalf of the singer… but now Spears has gone ahead and gone on record herself.
“The constant gaslighting from ex-husband is extremely hurtful and exhausting. I have always pleaded and screamed to have a life with my boys,” Britney Tweeted on Thursday, continuing as follows:
“Relationships with teenage boys is complex [sic]. I have felt demoralized by this situation and have always asked and almost begged for them to be a part of my life.
“Sadly, they have always witnessed the lack of respect shown by own father for me [sic]. They need to take responsibility for themselves.
“With one son only seeing me for 45 min in the past 5 years and the other with only 4 visits in the past 5 years. I have pride too. From now on I will let them know when I am available.”
Spears and Federline got married in 2004, and welcomed sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, before their divorce was finalized in 2007.
It’s hard to ignore the fact that Spears doesn’t really deny any of Federline’s claims in her statement; not his claim that she held a knife and watched her kids sleep… and not his claim that Spears cheated on him with a woman.
The Grammy winner went on to directly address Federline’s memoir in her message:
“Trust me, those white lies in that book, they are going straight to the bank and I am the only one who genuinely gets hurt here. I will always love them and if you really know me, you won’t pay attention to the tabloids of my mental health and drinking.
“I am actually a pretty intelligent woman who has been trying to live a sacred and private life the past 5 years. I speak on this because I have had enough and any real woman would do the same.”
When addressing what his sons think about the book, Federline told The Hollywood Reporter they were “100 percent behind me telling my story.”
Of their relationship with Spears, he added, “Their situation with their mom is fluid and they do talk. They’ve even gone and seen her and stuff.”
In the wake of the #FreeBritney movement, the singer’s conservatorship was terminated in 2021.
Still, Spears seems to have been spiraling ever since.
Federline believes that “this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible,” hinting in the memoir that he thinks the artist may hurt or kill herself.
“All I really want is for her to be happy and healthy, and I want her to be around for our kids,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
“My kids want her to be around for a long time. So I’ve sounded the alarm. It’s become a situation that I need people to start supporting my sons and their mother.”

As we’ve previously reported, Kevin Federline is about to release a new memoir, and the book contains some truly scandalous allegations against his ex-wife, Britney Spears.
Earlier today, we shared an excerpt in which Federline claimed that Spears did cocaine while she was breastfeeding the couple’s two sons.
Now, the situation has become even more problematic, as a new excerpt includes allegations that Britney combined alcohol and prescription medications while she was pregnant.
In the excerpt, published Thursday afternoon by People, Federline writes that a “silent alarm” was tipped in his mind when he learned that his then-wife was drinking and popping pills while expecting.
“That mix was… dangerous. F—-d up, honestly,” he writes.
“You’re not supposed to drink when you’re on meds like that. A couple of glasses of wine for her would hit like a whole bottle because of the medication.”
Federline goes on to explain that he made excuses for Britney, as he reasoned that drinking and pills were her methods for coping with the pressures of fame.
The situation came to a head at a release party for Federline’s 2006 album “Playing With Fire,” which he did not expect Britney to attend.
“I was happy [Britney’s father, Jamie Spears] had decided to come support me,” Federline recalls in an excerpt from his memoir obtained by Us Weekly.
“He threw a look my way, shook his head and motioned to my dressing room door. His expression sat in that flat blank space between disapproval and apprehension, as if to say: ‘She’s here, and it’s not good.’”
Federline says that he opened the door to the dressing room, where he found “Britney and [a] young starlet friend snorting a fat line of coke off the table.”
“Both were wearing these outrageous wigs. Britney’s was electric blue. It was surreal. They didn’t even try to hide it,” he alleged.
Federline did not name Brit’s companion for the evening, but identified her as an “actress who was about to blow up from a role that would transform her life.”
“I had seen it before, her drinking and breastfeeding, and it was really upsetting because of the danger to the kids,” he writes, adding:
“She could have pumped milk for Jayden so her mom had that ready.”
Britney released a statement denying the first round of Federline’s allegations, but she has not responded to claims that she drank and did drugs while pregnant and breastfeeding.
We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
